Testimonials

Mary Sargent, Auckland

John Atkinson helped me greatly by tracking down two pensions that were difficult to trace, and bringing them safely over to New Zealand. I have found him always willing to help and go the extra mile. He is easy to talk to and very approachable, whether it is for pension or insurance advice. I would have no hesitation in recommending John and Sterling Pension Transfers.

Michael Wright, Christchurch

The thought of transferring my UK pension and private pension to New Zealand was very daunting and I had visions of very time-consuming hassle. John was recommended by an Ex Pat friend so I gave him a call and I was immediately impressed with his knowledge and attention to detail. Needless to say, the transferral went very smoothly and John kept me informed continually and professionally throughout the process. I would be happy to recommend John and Sterling Pensions to anyone needing solid and unbiased advice.

Dominic Clark, Ngaio, Wellington

I have found John to be an honest and diligent partner in ensuring that my insurance needs, and those of my family, are met sensibly and economically. I am particularly impressed by his ongoing concern that the insurance we have makes sense for our situation, even when this means reducing levels and/or premiums. I am happy to recommend his services to anyone who wants to get unbiased and realistic advice on what insurance companies and policies can offer, and what they can't.

Tricia Segal, Upper Hutt, Wellington

We had already started proceedings to transfer our UK pension with another company and we were horrified at the fees we were going to incur. After talking with Sterling, they took over the transfer and helped us reduce our fees. The cost was minimal, we were kept informed frequently and they were professional throughout. When our funds arrived in NZ, Sterling also helped advise us on the best investment options to maximise returns on our pension funds. Not only that, unlike in the UK, we found we could access our funds.

Rod Elswood, Cambourne, Wellington

I was absolutely delighted with the painless way in which Sterling helped me achieve the transferral of my private pension. The whole process took under 3 months. They helped me with all the necessary procedures and information ensuring all the paper work was in order to prevent any delays. The biggest advantage was that my pension was 100% mine and forms part of my estate. Unlike a UK pension, I don't have to take an annuity which means I can access every cent.
